You deserve to feel safe in your body and in your relationships. If trauma or pain has left you feeling disconnected or overwhelmed, I can help you understand what’s happening, soften the impact of your struggles, and move toward a life that feels steady, connected, and truly your own.

  • You’ve been hurting a lot - maybe for years. Whether it’s the lingering effects of trauma, the strain of chronic pain or illness, or the emotional toll of trying to hold everything together, you’re tired of just surviving. You may feel disconnected from yourself, on edge without knowing why, or like your body is holding something your mind can’t fully explain.

    I work with adults who are struggling with complex trauma, persistent health conditions, anxiety, shame, and emotional overwhelm. Many of the people I support feel stuck in survival mode, longing for safety, clarity, and connection. You might feel like no one really sees what you’re going through, or that what you’re experiencing doesn’t fit neatly into any one category.

    If you’ve been managing alone for too long, I’m here to help you feel supported, curious, and understood. Together, we’ll create space for healing - gently untangling the patterns that no longer serve you and helping you reconnect with your body, your strength, and a felt sense of safety that lasts.

  • You might feel like your body is always on high alert, your mind can’t slow down, or you’re carrying tension that never fully goes away. Maybe you’re living with chronic pain or illness, recovering from trauma, or feeling stuck in patterns of anxiety, shame, or overwhelm that you can’t just “think your way out of.”

    If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to keep pushing through.

    I specialize in helping people like you reconnect with their bodies, calm their nervous systems, and feel safe again. Through somatic therapy and a mind-body approach, we’ll work together to gently shift out of survival mode and into a space where healing, relief, and connection are possible.

    This work supports you in listening to what your body is trying to tell you - not as something broken, but as something wise. We’ll create space for your experiences, help you feel more grounded, and make room for lasting change, from the inside out.

  • I have training in multiple trauma-focused and somatic modalities (ART, CMI, SE, SP, PVT, TIST, IFS) and am a complex trauma specialist.

    I am the founder of Regulating Resolutions. I earned a Master’s Degree in Clinical Health Psychology from the University of Michigan – Dearborn in 2013 and since have become a Limited Licensed Psychologist (LLP). I am a member of the Michigan Psychological Association (MPA) and their Pain Psychology Task Force.

    I am a Certified Master Accelerated Resolution Therapy clinician and a member of the International Society of Accelerated Resolution Therapy (IS-ART). I am trained in Critical Memory Integration (CMI). I started my formal Somatic Experiencing training in April 2025 to become a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner.

    I have a few other certifications, including Certified Trauma Professional (CCTP-II), Shame-Informed Treatment Specialist (CSTS), Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional (CIMHP), ADHD Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy Certification (C-DBT).

    I’m asexual and queer and love working with other LGBTQIA+ people. I also love working with other therapists and mental health professionals.

    I live in Dearborn with my two Sphynx (hairless) cats, Otis and Ralph. In the morning before starting with clients, I am usually listening to a psychotherapy-related audiobook, course, or seminar. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my cats, my family, my sibling’s cats, friends, and my friends’ cats.

Trauma and Dysregulation Reprocessing

Dianne’s Trauma and Dysregulation Reprocessing approach is curated for individuals who feel trapped in survival states, overwhelmed by the emotional and physical imprints of trauma, and ready to reclaim a sense of safety, balance, and connection in their lives. It is especially suited for:

  • Adults navigating complex trauma who experience emotional dysregulation, hypervigilance, or difficulty connecting with others.

  • Individuals with chronic pain or chronic illness seeking to understand and shift the mind-body connection contributing to their physical challenges.

  • Those feeling stuck in past experiences and unable to fully move forward despite their efforts.

  • People struggling with shame, self-blame, or patterns of avoidance that impact their relationships and self-esteem.

  • Individuals seeking to reconnect with their bodies after disconnection caused by trauma or distress.

  • Anyone longing for emotional resilience, self-regulation, and greater ease in navigating interpersonal dynamics.

  • Clients who desire a trauma-informed, body-focused approach to healing that integrates cutting-edge techniques and compassionate care.

Experience healing regulation and resolution through Trauma and Dysregulation Reprocessing, a comprehensive approach that integrates cutting-edge therapeutic modalities, including Critical Memory Integration (CMI), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), integrative polyvagal theory, and somatic approaches including Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Somatic Experiencing. This approach is ideal for those who are ready to compassionately address the patterns holding them back, deepen self-awareness, and develop new ways of being that allow them to thrive emotionally, physically, and relationally.

Dianne’s integrative psychotherapy addresses the patterned interplay between the autonomic nervous system and negative reactivity and builds your awareness of the living legacy of trauma in your body to help you orient to safety in the present moment and apply psychotherapeutic ‘goo-gone’ to getting stuck in the past. By unlocking the body's innate capacity for self-regulation, Dianne guides you to navigate interpersonal challenges, overcome shame, and reclaim a sense of safety and wholeness in your life.
